Naked antigen-presenting molecules on dendritic cells
Nature Cell Biology
|March 9, 2000
Abstract:
Antigen-presenting cells work to present peptides derived from exogenous and endogenous antigens to circulating T cells, sparking off an immune response. Dendritic cells are unique amongst antigen-presenting cells, not least for their newly described ability to circumvent the need to internalize exogenous antigens before presenting them.
